when it comes down to me and i grit my teeth...

Much thanks to Ford for selecting Derby's "If Ever There's a Reason" for one of their commercials. They're from Portland and before today, I didn't know they existed. They've released two full-length albums, with the last one being Posters Fade, in 2008. The songwriting is clever, the music is catchy and uncomplicated, and the lead singer's voice reminds me of Jakob Dylan. If you're into artists like Matt Pond PA, American Music Club or Michael Penn, you'll dig what's below.
